The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2002 because it was regularly supporting significant populations of the species listed below, meeting ('triggering') IBA criteria.

Populations meeting IBA criteria ('trigger species') at the site:

Species	Red List	Season (year/s of estimate)	Size	IBA criteria
White Stork Ciconia ciconia	LC	breeding (1998–2001)	10–12 pairs	B2, C6
European Honey-buzzard Pernis apivorus	LC	breeding (1998–2001)	7–9 pairs	B3, C6
White-tailed Sea-eagle Haliaeetus albicilla	LC	winter (1998–2001)	10–20 birds	A1, C1
Eurasian Wryneck Jynx torquilla	LC	breeding (1996–2000)	200–300 pairs	B2
Middle Spotted Woodpecker Leiopicus medius	LC	resident (1998–2001)	70–150 pairs	B3, C6
Syrian Woodpecker Dendrocopos syriacus	LC	breeding (1998–2001)	50–60 pairs	C6
Red-backed Shrike Lanius collurio	LC	breeding (1998–2001)	1,000–1,300 pairs	B2, C6
Barred Warbler Curruca nisoria	LC	breeding (1998–2001)	350–600 pairs	B3, C6
Collared Flycatcher Ficedula albicollis	LC	breeding (1998–2001)	1,000–2,000 pairs	B3, C6

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2002. The most recent assessment (2010) is shown below.
